Das Beinhaus von Pfeffel (Original Title) c. 1808

"Das Beinhaus von Pfeffel" (The Bone House of Pfeffel) is a drawing by Franz Pforr, a German Romantic artist known for his fantastical and often macabre imagery. Completed around 1808, the work depicts a scene from a story set in a graveyard, where a rider approaches a man standing near a house with a pile of skulls. The drawing's delicate lines and atmospheric setting highlight Pforr's exploration of death and the supernatural, creating a sense of mystery and unease, characteristic of Romanticism. This artwork can be found in the Städel Museum.
